Michael,
Which PDP-11 O/S? Will it have DECnet access to another system (e.g.,
a SIMH VAX or linux-decnet)?
OpenVMS system can create and mount a Files-11 Level 1 disk volume,
which can be read/written by RSX-11M/M-Plus and IAS. You could create
a virtual Files-11 Level 1 volume with a SIMH VAX and then read it on
a SIMH PDP-11. The same SIMH VAX can create a SIMH virtual ANSI-
labelled tape, which can be read/written by those O/S's, and RSTS, I
assume (I have never used RSTS). RT-11 disk volumes and DOS-11 tape
volumes can be created with the OpenVMS EXCHANGE utility. Any of
these can be to virtual devices that can be cross-mounted on various
SIMH machines, as long as the O/S supports the volume format.
Of course, any systems that are DECnet'ed together can exchange
files. I use linux-decnet on a CentOS (Red Hat) file server to store
OpenVMS Backup save sets that are created using remote file access
(FAL) directly from the Backup command. linux-decnet may not be
available for very much longer -- the people that supported the DECnet
code in the Linux kernel can no longer keep up with the latest
versions of the kernel.

Is there an easy way to take a bunch of files and turn them into
either a
tape image or a disk image suited for attaching to a PDP-11 under
SIMH?
